Who do you think would win a match between Silicon Valley geeks, and the people who fund their ideas?
In the first annual "Capital vs. Labor" dodgeball game last weekend, the speedy and skinny Laborers -- including players from Google and BitTorrent -- won the battle, despite Capital having an ex-Miami Dolphin on the team.
Here's a shot from Flickr, and another one from David Hornik's blog - he is one of the organizers .
And here is some awesome video footage I found a link to on Elapsed Time. My favorite thing about this is the whole thing was played on trampolines!

Six Degrees of Dodgeball
Welcome to SixDegreesOfDodgeball.com. I wanted to start a blog about all things about or related to -- and even not-so-related to -- dodgeball. The game has become one of my passions over the last few years, and it has led me to rediscover my inner jock-chick (and yes, okay, my inner child-brat).
I don't have any major plans for this blog... no agenda, no angle... as I am a rather fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants sort of girl. But if you like dodgeball or are curious about it, stay tuned to see what is to come, and I invite you to comment, pose questions and start discussions. I know there are a lot of us out here online, and I'm curious about tapping into a global dodgeball community, even culture, if you will. As we say at the start of each game in my leaugue: 3-2-1, dodgeball!!!
